	Meteor (1979) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Factual errors: The rockets sent to hit the meteor would not burn their engines for the entire trip from launch to impact.
		The ones in the movie would burn for a few minutes to achieve escape velocity and get on an intercept path.
		Meteor and When Time Ran Out marked the end of the decade of the disaster epic.

	Movie Review - Meteor Man - eFilmCritic
		Meteors, as a rule, explode into flaming wreckage when they hit the ground.
		Meteor Man (a meek school-teacher struck by a green space rock) can fly, but is too cowardly to levitate any higher than a foot above the sidewalk.
		Meteor Man is simply a kid-centric superhero comedy, which puts it firmly among the ranks of Condorman and The Return of Captain Invincible in both quality and in how fondly it will be remembered.

	Meteors and Meteor Showers
		Further, during meteor showers (which usually last a few days), the majority of the meteors appear to come from a particular point in the sky, called the radiant of the shower.
		That meteors in meteor showers appear to radiate from a single point in the sky is an optical illusion, as illustrated in the figure on the right.
		Meteor showers often vary in intensity from year to year, presumably reflecting details of encountering the orbit of the parent comet.

	International Meteor Conference 1993
		So four of as, a team of young meteor observers at Archenhold Observatory Berlin, decided to reproduce a similar system for wide angle sky observations with the already existing equipment at our observatory.
		In November '92 we recorded another 20 meteors, in January MOVIE survived (like all the visual observers) 15 degrees Celsius below zero and catched more than 60 meteors during the Quadrantids, and in August '93 the video equipment was during the maximum of the Perseids 15 hours in operation.
		Later the problem of searching and analysing meteors is discussed and at the end some unsolved problems and alternatives are mentioned.

	Ziggy's Video Realm: Sean Connery in Meteor (1979) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Given the fact that the entire genre this film represents is carved from a block of cheese anyway, the formula plot clichés and corny special effects are easily forgiven when set against the top-notch cast and the sheer entertainment value of this great popcorn flick.
		In this case, Connery knows what kind of movie he's in, and he acts to the appropriate level; he plays the role reasonably straight but still has some fun with it, without ever crossing the line into camp.
		However, to do the movie justice, one has to look at it within the context of the disaster movie genre, at which point it assumes its place as one of the all-time classics.

	Video Review @ Stomp Tokyo - Meteor (1979)
		After the cinematic one-two punch that was last summer's Deep Impact and Armageddon you're probably wondering, "Are there any good movies in which Earth is threatened by huge rocks traveling through space?" Sadly, no. Or if there are any, we have yet to see them.
		See, if the President of the United States (played by, yes, Henry "Tentacles" Fonda) admits that the platform is up there, he's afraid that the US government will look like "hypocrites and warmongers." Of course, technically, that's exactly what the US government is, but he doesn't want to admit it.
		The nicest thing we can say about Meteor is that, even without the computer generated special effects, it is at least as compelling an asteroid flick as Deep Impact.

		It is impossible to pulverize a comet as portrayed in the movie.

	Salon Entertainment \| Movie Interview: Without reservations: A conversation with Sherman Alexie
		But while their exasperated exchanges fuel the movie's humor, they also reveal its deepest theme -- the simple longing to be truly accepted and understood.
		When you first started referring to the movie, a year or so ago, it was still called "This Is What it Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona" [the title of the short story the film is based on].
		It's not a matter of how many Indians are in the movie, the idea is to write a movie in which there's a real story and real characters.

		This means, that complete meteor trails are traced back to the radiant in the first image, whereas the second picture shows only all the intersection point between two distinct meteor tracings.
		During a few seconds 18 meteors with different lengths, velocities and brightness are visible on the screen, which illustrates all the well known effects of meteor showers quite impressive.
		Even though we had a good data basis (several hundred meteors observed from three visual observers in six successive nights with a time accuracy of 1 second) due to our computer based observation ([7]), the distribution of the meteors matched exactly the one expected for randomly in space distributed particles.

		The movie starts with a time exposure video shot of Cassiopia in the center of the screen and Perseus in the lower right center; then a short clip of the meteor; then a full-speed clip from the high resolution camera, which is then followed by a 7x slow motion clip."

	"Armageddon" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		The movie begins with an unsuspecting town (namely New York City) that is bombarded by a meteor shower.
		I went to this movie with the knowledge from others who had seen it, that it was a really good movie, if you could get past the swear words.
		This movie was BAD, and the time and money better spent watching reruns of Lost in Space episodes, which in contrast to Amageddon, actually had some realism to the space/technology.

		It looks good but where the meteor seems to impact is where the particle flow ends rather than where the line of motion is going.
		I also had this material gradually blend from one where the displacement was large to one where it was quite small - that way the ripple loses height as it expands.

		Now he is seen as the savior of the neighborhood, as he takes on the Golden Lords, a funny looking gang with blond brush cuts, that seem far too conspicuous for the undercover drug work they claim to do.
		Instead, a ridiculous fight scene drags on and on, where the gang leader and Meteor Man have it out on the street.

		Instantly able to fry an egg in a pan or make a large woman think the gangstas next to her are trying to cop a cheap feel.
		Other than fighting others with meteor powers, the only real weakness was that the power got drained over time and with use like a battery.
		As well as the movie, Meteor Man also appeared in a Marvel Comics limited series, where he encountered Spider-Man (#3) and Night Thrasher, leader of the New Warriors (#4-5), placing him retroactively into the Marvel Universe.

	the agony booth : ARMAGEDDON Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In fact, the movie is crammed with so many disparate story elements that one could easily believe every single line of dialogue was written by somebody different.
		This is supposed to be a movie about people desperately trying to prevent the end of the world, but at no time will you ever feel like the earth is even remotely in danger.
		Somehow, some way, Michael Bay over-directed this movie to the point where it lost all trace of the one thing that all movies have taken great pains to cultivate since the dawn of cinema.

		In "Meteor", a huge chunk of an asteroid, blasted out of its benign orbit after by a wayward comet, is now heading towards earth.
		METEOR was one of those films that appeared at the tail-end of the 1970s disaster film cycle, and thus it was grounded by a great deal of critical drubbing.
		The film concerns a five mile-long wide meteor named Orpheus which is blasted out of its position in the asteroid belt by a comet (the collision destroys a manned space probe sent to observe it).

		I agree Meteor, but I don't think that the general public is really looking too deeply into movies.
